Direct Current or DC after it leaved SMPS (Switched Mode Power Supply).
On a laptop computer the charger/power supply is a single voltage, around 19 volts DC (depending on model no.)
On desk top computers, the PC Power supply has several different DC voltages and different wattage capacities.
They are
+5v
+12v
- 12v
-5v
+3.3v
Loads of different coloured wires and plugs take the power to the motherboard, hard drives, optical drives and some graphics cards.

What is the advantage of using a switching power supply over linear power supply?
A: Assuming the same power output the switching type will be lighter in weight and less bulky.
What is the first step you should take when testing a power supply?
You first have to know the type of power supply your are testing. Then you could test whether the power supply is receiving anything from its source. Next check if it is giving any output.
How do you power a 15 amp 12v DC wrench with a 110 AC outlet?
To operate this type of low voltage wrench, a power supply will have to be used. When looking for this type of power supply the output has to be 12 volts DC with a capacity of 15 amps or W = A x V = 180 watts.
What is the definition of an uninterruptible power supply?
In case of a power outage, there is a backup that will allow the electricity in your home to work. This is a great type of power to have for your home especially during thunder and lightning storms.

What type of power do you get from a battery?
Electricity
What type of waveform is produced by Ferroresonant power supply?
ferro-resonant power supply?
What is the type of transformer used to step down 230v ac to 48vdc?
A transformer alone cannot accomplish this. Transformers do not output DC directly, only AC. For DC output, additional components (rectifier, filter capacitor) are necessary. This would be properly called a DC power supply rather than just a transformer. To specify the proper power supply, you need at a minimum the input voltage (AC), the input frequency, the output voltage (DC), and the output current.
What type of electricity supply system has been adopted in Australia?
240 volts
Does Romania use more nuclear power than France?
No, France has much more nuclear capacity, as well as a much larger total electricity demand. Romania - 2 reactors, Candu type, 1,310 MWe output France - 59 reactors, PWR type, 63,000 MWe output
How do I decide what type of power supply I need when I'm building a desktop PC?
Power supply is dictated by your motherboard, simply get the power supply which matches the motherboards pin configuration.
